How it works

Four steps, and you take the last one

Avora helps with the reading and the waiting. The decision, and the conversation with a study team, stay with you.

  1. 01

    Choose the area you follow

    Start on the page for your condition. It explains the research in plain words and lists what studies in that area often look at first.

    See study areas
  2. 02

    Read what taking part involves

    Screening, consent, visits, travel and leaving: our taking-part page sets out each stage before you speak to anyone.

    Sign up for updates, if you like

    Give us the area and how to reach you. We send occasional updates about research in it by email, and by text if you tick the box.

  4. 04

    Speak to a study team yourself

    When something interests you, you contact the study team directly. They screen you, explain the study and answer your questions; we are not part of that conversation.

Where Avora stops

  • We do not run studies or work for anyone who does
  • We do not give medical advice or judge whether a study suits you
  • We never pass your details to a study team, sponsor or anyone else
  • A text from Avora never enrolls you in anything
